Your 2012 - In February 2010, staff from the Museum of London Docklands began regular visits to the Olympic Park at Stratford to photograph the ongoing construction work and its impact. Twenty images of the hundreds taken throughout the year have been brought together in this free display at the Museum of London Docklands. Displayed under three categories, the images look at the site under construction, the impact on the surrounding boroughs and the effect the works have had on the local environment. There will also be a display of archive images detailing the fascinating history of the Olympic site. Each picture was taken from a location accessible to the general public in the hope that the display inspires people to go and see this area of East London for themselves as final touches are put in place for 2012. Until 9 July.
Journeys and Kinship - Journeys and Kinship explores further the themes of the London, Sugar & Slavery gallery at the Museum of London Docklands through a project between the visual artist Jean Joseph and a group of young Londoners working together with Caribbean Calypso musician, Alexander D Great, and Yvonne Wilson from Equi-Vison. The display features Joseph’s work Sale Over Centuries, 2010 which consists of plaster face casts of 42 people from the African Diaspora who were born in and/or currently live in London. The casts promote discussion on the structure of faces and show how resemblances carry across generations and geographies. In response to Joseph’s work the young Londoners explored issues of enslavement, London’s involvement and the African Diaspora. They then created a display which includes their own face casts and original music alongside film and photography documenting the project. This thought-provoking display raises issues around enslavement and life in modern London which remain relevant in today’s capital. From 24 February until 4 November.
